Detailed Solution

Concept: Action potential distribution is altered in the spinal cord's periphery, and communication between various brain regions is managed.
White matter influences training and brain functions by modulating the distribution of action potentials, which serves as a relay and coordinates communication between brain regions.
Because of the lipid content of myelin, white matter has a relatively light appearance. Because myelin is mostly lipid tissue veined with capillaries, the tissue of the cut brain appears pinkish white to the unaffected eye.
Therefore, white matter is found in the periphery of the spinal cord.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
